Seen this story making the rounds lately. I think most rational people would agree that she had it coming considering feeding the bears is dangerous for both other people and the bears, and she'd already been warned after one of her bears had to be put down. However, it's been going around the right wing blogosphere because Drudge linked to it with the headline: "81 year old woman arrested for putting out birdseed on her own property."

Where did the birdseed thing come from? I thought I had read that she was feeding them dry dog food, leaving out bowls of the stuff on her property with the claims that the bears would starve without her intervention?

I once went to a dump in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan just to see the bears that hang out there and some guy with was letting his little kids feed the bears by hand!Then as the moron finally left we saw Florida plates on his car.
